My 3 yr old daughter

Ok well my 3 yr old daughter watches the yo gabba gabba show but i dont think some of the people on that show are good for my daughter to be watching. Or the shows with grown men dancing an singing around. Should i keep letting her watch them

I never cared for yo gabba gabba, my daughter has not seen it. I do not like sponge bob, I do not let her watch it either. in fact she does not watch commercial TV at all. Its either PBS or DVDs. I can control watch she watches so I only let her watch things that are mostly educational

I will start with..if you don't want her watching it..turn it off. There were and are many shows my kids/grandkids weren't allowed to watch.
By men "singing an dancing around" are you referring to the "Wiggles". The show is admittedly annoying for adults, but so are most kids shows. Have you really paid attention to this show. It is all about manners, and eating healthy food, not just being a couch potato and cherishing your friends. I have a really hard time finding anything wrong with that. My grandson is almost 5. While he is past "Wiggle-mania" he does still enjoy watching, and they love the CDs in the car. As always IMO.

If you don't like her watching them, don't let her. My DD is only 10 months old, but she is not allowed to watch Dora or Hey, Manny (or whatever it is) simply because I want her to speak English first and not get confused between Spanish and English. I don't have anything against them, they will just be watched at a later date. As for YGG, it is annoying, but grown men dancing is not a bad thing...
